Impact of a Comprehensive and Flexible Intervention for Students With Disabilities Experiencing Intensive Literacy Needs
Students with disabilities who experience significant early literacy challenges need structured reading instruction. This study documents the initial efficacy of Friends on the Block ( www.friendsontheblock.com ), a comprehensive and flexible program designed for students with intensive early literacy needs. Elementary-age students with disabilities and intensive early literacy needs, including those with intellectual and developmental disabiliti…
Promoting Agency Among Upper Elementary School Teachers and Students with an Artificial Intelligence Machine Learning System to Score Performance-Based Science Assessments
As schools increasingly adopt multidimensional, phenomenon-based, digital-technology-enhanced science instruction, a concurrent shift is occurring in student performance assessment. Assessment instruments capable of measuring multiple dimensions must incorporate constructed responses to probe students’ ability to explain scientific phenomena and solve problems. Such assessments, unlike traditional multiple-choice tests, are time-consuming and lab…
Associations between childhood trauma, perceived resilience, and teacher burnout
This study investigates how teacher burnout symptoms can be explained by childhood trauma and perceived resilience. Self-assessment surveys, designed to measure adverse childhood experiences, ability to bounce back after hardship, and burnout symptoms, were completed by 146 kindergarten through 12th-grade U. S. public school teachers. Structural equation modelling analysis revealed a significant indirect relationship between burnout symptoms and …
Teaching self‐management strategies to upper‐elementary students
Student behavior problems in general‐education classrooms present a major barrier to effective teaching. Behavior challenges, such as disruptions, noncompliance, and peer conflicts, reduce instructional time, whereas prosocial behaviors, such as paying attention, being ready to work, asking for help, participating in class, and completing homework, improve academic performance. Most interventions developed to address student behavior problems wer…
Evidence of efficacy of the Integrated Literacy Study Group professional learning program to enhance reading instruction for students with emotional and behavioral disorders
This article reports on a pilot study of the Integrated Literacy Study Group , a digitally delivered professional learning intervention to prepare elementary school teachers to provide evidence‐based reading instruction and behavioral strategies to students with or are at risk for emotional and behavioral disorders. Using broadcast methods, we recruited 72 teachers across five states in the western United States to participate in the randomized c…
Sports Participation and Positive Correlates in African American, Latino, and White Girls
Findings confirm the existence of significant relationships between organized sports participation and positive correlates among early adolescent African American, Latino, and white girls. Despite a few ethnic differences in relationships, the current study revealed more similarities than differences
An Introduction to Latent Variable Growth Curve Modeling
This book provides a comprehensive introduction to latent variable growth curve modeling (LGM) for analyzing repeated measures. It presents the statistical basis for LGM and its various methodological extensions, including a number of practical examples of its use. It is designed to take advantage of the reader’s familiarity with analysis of variance and structural equation modeling (SEM) in introducing LGM techniques. Sample data, syntax, input …
Alcohol Use of African Americans and Whites From Ages 9–20
African American and White youth (N = 405) were assessed annually for 8 years, providing alcohol use data spanning from ages 9-20 years. Alcohol use increased with age, as did binge drinking, drunkenness, peer alcohol use, and ease of obtaining alcohol. At younger ages, the usual alcoholic drink was wine; other drinks were preferred at older ages. Fewer African Americans than Whites reported alcohol use, binge drinking, drunkenness, peer alcohol …
Cultural adaptations of behavioral health interventions
Objective-To reduce health disparities, behavioral health interventions must reach subcultural groups and demonstrate effectiveness in improving their health behaviors and outcomes.One approach to developing such health interventions is to culturally adapt original evidence-based interventions.The goals of the paper are to (a) describe consensus on the stages involved in developing cultural adaptations, (b) identify common elements in cultural ad…
Retention of African-American and White Youth in a Longitudinal Substance Use Study
The current investigation discusses successful strategies used to retain N = 405 African-American and White target youth in a longitudinal, non-intervention study focused on alcohol and other drug use. Ninety-one percent of youth remained in the study for all 4 years, including 87% of African-Americans and 96% of Whites. In a logistic regression model incorporating age, ethnicity, income, sex, parent/guardian marital status, parent alcohol use, a…
Sources and Types of Social Support in Youth Physical Activity.
This study examines the influence of sources and types of social support on youth physical activity. The sample comprised 372 youth (mean age=12.05 years, SD=1.63). Youth were 76% White and 50.3% female. The annual household income for the sample was 20% under $30,000; 30% $30,000-$49,999; 25% $50,000-$69,999; 13% $70,000-$89,999; and 12% $90,000 and above. Results revealed that friends who support and watch youth engage in activities are signifi…
Family Influences on Youth Alcohol Use
This study examined the effects of demographic and family influences on alcohol use among White and African American youth. Data comprised 400 target youth with a mean age of 11.04 years (SD = 1.68), 51.2% male, 49.8% African American and 50.2% White. Youth alcohol use was hypothesized to be influenced by the child's age, family income, parent status, parent alcohol use, sibling alcohol use, and family cohesion. A four-group multiple-sample struc…
The Social Context of Alcohol Initiation Among African American and White Youth
This study documented the social context of alcohol initiation in children and adolescents, and examined gender, age, and ethnic differences among African Americans and Whites. Data comprised 148 youths reporting that they had tried alcohol, with a mean age of 13 years and a mean alcohol use onset age of 10 years. Most respondents (61%) indicated that they were with their parents when they first used alcohol, half were at home at the time, and ma…
A Multilevel Contextual Model of Neighborhood Collective Efficacy
Different data sources were used to examine hypothesized relations among neighborhood‐, family‐, and individual‐level variables, and perceptions of neighborhood collective efficacy. Data were from 1,105 individuals (56% female, 42% African American, and 58% White) nested within 55 neighborhoods and 392 families, analyzed within a multilevel design using a 3‐level model. At the neighborhood level, the study examined relations between Census, polic…
A Multilevel Analysis of Neighborhood Context and Youth Alcohol and Drug Problems
Telephone Recruitment of a Random Stratified African American and White Family Study Sample
Few researchers have documented procedures and methods for recruitment of a random sample to assess risky health-related behavior, such as substance use, across different ethnicities. This study describes the recruitment methods used to attain a stratified sample of 368 target youths (African American and White males and females from 9-, 11-, and 13-year-old cohorts), along with all household family members aged 9 and older, representing families…
Tobacco policy rating form
The TPRF seems worthy of future use as a tool to rate the strength and comprehensiveness of written tobacco policies. It may be extended to other settings such as schools and municipalities, or used by investigators studying behavioural or economic consequences of smoking policies. Those interested in policy change may find the TPRF useful as a way of describing existing policies and as a quantitative measure of change
